Dr. XYZ: A Medical Drag Transthology

Maskuline

A psychoanalytical pry through the structures that form the creation of a gendered identity.

Priob

We meet a young woman on her windowsill in the early hours of the morning, while she is in conversation with her late grandfather, The Coal Man, who lives in the clouds above and communicates through radio waves. Priob is a film about our inner children and the people who raised them, wherever they are.

Queer Bodies

An exploration of the process of embracing queer identity, from the death of the former self, to the searching for agency, to the creation of a community.

(Country: Germany; Year: 2022; Director: Elin Laut, Mattia Friso)

The Space Dykes And Other Adventures

This film explores dykiness and bodily abjection, examining home and unhome-liness beyond traditional kinship. Presented as a chaotic video and sonic collage, it focuses on transition by blending clips in harsh and fluid ways. The work alternates between fast and slow movements, reflecting on queer intimacy and the notion of home in relation to the queer body.

(Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: Julian Konuk)

Trans-form

The journey of five trans+ individuals, from flesh to 3D printing.

(Country: UK; Year: 2023; Director: Luca Asta)
